Formation of the State
From 1798 to
1819, a steady influx of Europeans and African slaves accompanied by their
owners settled on land
formerly occupied by several Native American
tribes. Alabama became a part of the Mississippi Territory in 1798
after Indian cessions in north Alabama. Migration increased after
the end of the Creek War in 1814. In 1817, the Alabama Territory was
created, and Alabama became the 22nd state in December 1819.
